We consider the heterotic string on Calabi-Yau manifolds admitting a Strominger-Yau-Zaslow fibration. Upon reducing the system in the $T^3$-directions, the Hermitian Yang-Mills conditions can then be reinterpreted as a complex flat connection on $mathbb{R}^3$ satisfying a certain co-closure condition. We give a number of abelian and non-abelian examples, and also compute the back-reaction on the geometry through the non-trivial $alpha$-corrected heterotic Bianchi identity, which includes an important correction to the equations for the complex flat connection. These are all new local solutions to the Hull-Strominger system on $T^3timesmathbb{R}^3$. We also propose a method for computing the spectrum of certain non-abelian models, in close analogy with the Morse-Witten complex of the abelian models.

We construct new examples of solutions of the Hull-Strominger system on non-Kahler torus bundles over K3 surfaces, with the property that the connection $ abla$ on the tangent bundle is Hermite-Yang-Mills. With this ansatz for the connection $ abla$, we show that the existence of solutions reduces to known results about moduli spaces of slope-stable sheaves on a K3 surface, combined with elementary analytical methods. We apply our construction to find the first examples of T-dual solutions of the Hull-Strominger system on compact non-Kahler manifolds with different topology.
We construct new smooth solutions to the Hull-Strominger system, showing that the Fu-Yau solution on torus bundles over K3 surfaces can be generalized to torus bundles over K3 orbifolds. In particular, we prove that, for $13 leq k leq 22$ and $14leq rleq 22$, the smooth manifolds $S^1times sharp_k(S^2times S^3)$ and $sharp_r (S^2 times S^4) sharp_{r+1} (S^3 times S^3)$, have a complex structure with trivial canonical bundle and admit a solution to the Hull-Strominger system.
We consider $G_2$-structures with torsion coupled with $G_2$-instantons, on a compact $7$-dimensional manifold. The coupling is via an equation for $4$-forms which appears in supergravity and generalized geometry, known as the Bianchi identity. First studied by Friedrich and Ivanov, the resulting system of partial differential equations describes compactifications of the heterotic string to three dimensions, and is often referred to as the $G_2$-Strominger system. We study the moduli space of solutions and prove that the space of infinitesimal deformations, modulo automorphisms, is finite dimensional. We also provide a new family of solutions to this system, on $T^3$-bundles over $K3$ surfaces and for infinitely many different instanton bundles, adapting a construction of Fu-Yau and the second named author. In particular, we exhibit the first examples of $T$-dual solutions for this system of equations.
We discuss non-geometric supersymmetric heterotic string models in D=4, in the framework of the free fermionic construction. We perform a systematic scan of models with four a priori left-right asymmetric Z_2 projections and shifts. We analyze some 2^{20} models, identifying 18 inequivalent classes and addressing variants generated by discrete torsions. They do not contain geometrical or trivial neutral moduli, apart from the dilaton. However, we show the existence of flat directions in the form of exactly marginal deformations and identify patterns of symmetry breaking where product gauge groups, realized at level one, are broken to their diagonal at higher level. We also describe an inverse Gepner map from Heterotic to Type II models that could be used, in certain non geometric settings, to define effective topological invariants.
We point out that the arguments of Zamolodchikov and others on the $Toverline T$ and similar deformations of two-dimensional field theories may be extended to the more general non-Lorentz invariant case, for example non-relativistic and Lifshitz-type theories. We derive results for the finite-size spectrum and $S$-matrix of the deformed theories.
